Advanced Style Dolls and Drawings

When I was a kid I used to make drawings and dolls of fancy ladies. I went home to San Diego not too along ago and found a book of these drawings. People ask me how I came up with the idea for Advanced Style, but if you look at the drawings below,its as if the ladies I used to draw have come to life in my photographs.

A few years ago I started to draw again. Here are some more of my latest creations

My friend Debra Rapoport has been making wonderful dolls based on the drawings!

As time goes by, Ari, your ladies, your blog and your artistry become more and more beautiful. It's wonderful to see you develop such a really great platform at the same time enriching all our lives. Thank you!

I love how as a kid you dreamed up the dolls and later as an adult you made them come to life. It's as magical as in foreseeing the future. Or perhaps you possess a magic wand, your camera coupled with your talent, and as you take the pictures your dolls come to life. It's fantastic.

How proud your grandma would be of you seeing your art! I can't translate all the names of your dolls but they sure sound like fun!Maria, Hungary

Your blog is always an absolute delight. As I was browsing through some of your older posts I was very entertained and amazed at this post.We do grow up to be who we were meant to be. Our historires tell on us sometimes long before we are aware of our paths.
